Our guitar classes are for students age 6 and up. We have students who have absolutely no music experience whatsoever and those who have some experience with the instrument.  These classes focus on the acoustic/bass/electric guitar.  Each class is 30 minutes long and will have a max of 10 students per class.  Classes are broken up by age (elementary ages 6-11 and middle/high school, ages 12 and up) Students should have their own guitar (appropiately sized) and a willingness to learn!  Once students are comfortable holding and playing the basic chords on the guitar, the instructor will recommend music books or provide sheet music for the students to use.  Parent are asked to attend class with younger students to ensure they get the most out of the class.
